Maternal Child Health Program – Átawišamataš

Átawišamataš

Átawišamataš (A-t aʊ-wee-shum-uh-tush) means, “I love you all”. Our staff offer home visits and parenting education opportunities focused on health and cultural connections, social engagement, and cultural activities to support family and community connections. We want to encourage, support, and promote stronger, healthier families. Átawišamataš staff want to embed themselves in the community – collaborate with community stakeholders to engage wraparound care for patients and families.

Átawišamataš enrolled families may utilize additional resources such as transport that is related to food security and connections to resources outside of Yellowhawk, pre-planned, scheduled trips to grocery shopping, food distribution, social security office and other agencies necessary for patients’ and/or families’ well-being. This may include exercise classes or groups to support the families’ needs. Medical appointment support may be offered but must be scheduled in advance.
